Content

This unit utilises both disciplinary and interdisciplinary pedagogies. It begins by exploring the disciplinary content of the VCE and VCAL Humanities, Societies and Environments (HSE) teaching and learning area (Geography, History, Economics, and Civics and Citizenship) and familiarises students with current curriculum documents which identify learning standards in associated domains. After considering dominant classroom pedagogies used within, and outside of the school classroom, learners explore theories around notions of cultural institutions, and identify a number of sites for possible learning in HSE domains. Simultaneously, as a class will explore constructions of multidimensional citizenship, focussing on temporal (history and futures), spatial (geographic) and sustainable (economic) dimensions. We will study project based and inquiry learning, as well as workshop based activities highlighting practical applications of theoretical understandings developed in this course.
